Speaking of which, this was not the first time Xia Yuqing met Su Lingxi outside of school.

They are all actresses of the same age. Even if they have different development directions, they will always meet each other occasionally at the big events at the end of the year and the beginning of the year.

To say that the face has changed much, it’s not that much.

But her temperament was indeed very different from when I first met her in the auditorium.

More elegant and relaxed, more natural and comfortable, both the posture and the conversation are just right, without any faults.

Even if he was just sitting there with a smile on his face, people would feel from the bottom of their hearts that he was someone who should not be neglected.

This is probably what is often said about red energy nourishing people.

Xia Yuqing's thoughts were in a turmoil in secret, but the gentle expression on her face remained unchanged.

Although the two were classmates from the same class, they didn't have much in common. After exchanging a few simple greetings, they went their separate ways.

Su Lingxi has been a popular figure who has been chased and cared for wherever he goes these days, and this moment is no exception.

After Xia Yuqing stepped back, more people came over who wanted to make friends or find out information.

For the sake of her reputation, she had to try to deal with them as politely as possible - after all, those who could appear backstage at GUCCI were either well-known colleagues or wealthy and powerful people with connections, neither of whom was simple.

Su Lingxi said some perfunctory polite words while calling up the system in his mind.

[Xia Yuqing is the heroine of the novel, right? If her story line changes, wouldn't the story of this novel be impossible to tell? ]

Although she didn't remember the plot very well, no matter how she looked at it, Xia Yuqing's current appearance didn't look like the sweet and romantic heroine in the original text, so Su Lingxi asked this question.

The system responded quickly: [Host, don't worry. After system testing, this world is just one of the parallel worlds derived from the novel world. It is normal for the characters' personalities to be different.]

Su Lingxi: [Are you sure? If the story has a completely opposite ending, will it also affect me? ]

What she feared was that this so-called parallel world would be destroyed because the protagonist's story line collapsed.

System: [Host, please rest assured that the parallel world and the novel world exist independently of each other and are not interfered with or affected by each other. ]

Su Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the system was sometimes as unreliable as a madman, it was still relatively reliable at times like this - after all, if she died, she would naturally not be able to complete any of the tasks the system required her to complete.

If one person takes charge of everything, all the work will be in vain and no one will benefit from it.

Thinking of this, Su Lingxi's heart moved slightly, and he asked again: [You said you are a system, so you have had many hosts before? If I die, will you find another person to bind to? ]

Her question was too straightforward, and the system was a little at a loss: [I, I won’t... The host bound to the system will not die easily...]

Su Lingxi: [Just because there is a [Great Rejuvenation Pill] in the system mall? Can it bring the dead back to life? ]

System: [Yes! Host, don't be afraid. As long as you buy the [Great Rejuvenation Pill], I will give it to you at the critical moment! I guarantee that other people in this world will not be able to see it! ]

Su Lingxi thought for a moment and took the opportunity to ask for a big price: [But [Da Huan Dan] requires points to buy, which is too expensive for me... Tongzi, can you give me a discount? ]

The system subconsciously wanted to refute her, but was afraid that she would really not buy it after it refuted her, so it had to give in: [Then, then, then I'll give you a 30% discount. ]

Su Lingxi continued to act pitiful: [It's only 30% off, can you give it a 50% discount? ]

She now has less than 100 points in total, so even if it is discounted by half, it will still be a huge expense for her.

System: [Ah? You can’t give such a big discount…]

This was the first time that the system encountered a host who bargained with it so hard.

Finally, unable to bear Su Lingxi's constant nagging, the system had to grit its teeth and agree to her request for a 50% discount.

After successfully purchasing the [Da Huan Dan], Su Lingxi's eyes flashed with a cold light, but he said nothing.

If she guessed correctly, the reason why the system loosened its grip so quickly must be complicated.

It could be that it couldn't bind to other hosts, or it could be some other reason. In short, after this test, she was basically certain that the system and she were allies tied to the same ship.

Only after confirming this could Su Lingxi truly feel at ease.

If she wanted to go higher, she had to survive.

With her worries gone, Su Lingxi's smile became even warmer. Even when a bold reporter asked a very sensitive topic during the interview, she did not show any displeasure, but answered his questions calmly and methodically.

"There is no doubt that Jeremy Bell is an excellent actor, but I think everyone should also have full confidence in the judges of the Berlin Film Festival. Their professional ability is enough to enable them to make the most fair judgment and not be swayed by anyone's opinion."

"By the way, I am not the main character of today's event, so I hope you won't stray off topic when asking questions."

Xia Yuqing looked at her from afar, seeing how she was able to handle a group of reporters with ease, and was a little dazed.

The question asked by that reporter just now was indeed malicious. He brought up the dispute over the Best Actor Award again. His implication seemed to be that Jeremy Bell's acting was better and he should win the award.

But Su Lingxi never responded to his doubts directly. He started by praising the judges and then changed the subject. His words did not leave any room for anyone to find loopholes.

It’s really... amazing.

Xia Yuqing had secretly wanted to watch the fun, but she didn't expect that she could handle it so well without the help of her agent.

"Hmph, she is quite smart." Li Lingyi, who finished the interview first, stood next to Xia Yuqing at some point, looking at the figure not far away with a dim gaze.

Both the tone of her voice and the look in her eyes showed a straightforward hostility when she said this.

Xia Yuqing was stunned, then smiled casually and didn't respond easily.

Li Lingyi is more than 20 years older than her. She is a senior actor of the same generation as Ruan Tang and a big star in the drama circle who is famous for her acting skills. Logically, she should speak up for her, but Xia Yuqing couldn't figure out how she and Su Lingxi came to have a grudge, so she didn't agree with her rashly.

It was one thing for her to have a conflict with Su Lingxi in her heart, but she couldn't openly express her dissatisfaction with her in front of her senior. This kind of thing spread the fastest in the circle, and sooner or later it would reach the ears of the person involved.

For various reasons, Xia Yuqing doesn't want to completely break up with Su Lingxi for the time being.

In the first two years after she got together with Xu Zichuan, she was a little frivolous and proud. However, her career has not been going well in recent years, and she has seen a lot of things clearly and her temperament has become more mature.

Naturally, it will no longer be as pure as before.
